It's Summer Time and the Living is Easy
Well it's Summer Time and the Living is Easy. Or that was the promise offered by that old tune. I don't know if life has been any easier now that it is Summer. In the church people take a vacation during the summer. They head off to Florida and to other vacation spots. The lake looks a lot more appealing than the sanctuary.
So that puts the pastor in a interesting place. How do we stand up against the allure of Disney and water skiing? Dare we turn the church into a vacation spot? Or do we simply proclaim what the church has always been, a sanctuary?
Yes, perhaps we simply remind the people that the church is a sanctuary. Yes remind the people that when the living is easy and when the living is bad, the church is a sanctuary. The church is a place of rest for the weary. The church is a place of inspiration for the down trodden. The church is a place of vacation from the sad sin-filled world we live in.
